Jack Wills Breached ASA Rules With Provocative Catalogues

Jack Wills, a luxury fashion label that is preferred by celebrities such as Prince Harry, Emma Watson and Hugh Grant is under a lot of speculation because of its bold advertising. The advertising authorities are worried the label is using extremely provocative pictures on its clothing catalogue.

So far it has been observed that Jack Wills has published catalogues with nearly naked women in the catalogue. They have also shown images of a woman wearing nothing but a brief. Similarly, they have shown topless woman being held by a man and the girl's upper half was fairly prominently displayed. Often, the models pose in a sexual position besides revealing body parts.

It is breaching advertising rules and is not such a positive influence on younger teenagers.

Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) will censure Jack Wills, which is not for the British company that started a decade ago. Though the censor will not harm its position in anyway.

However, Jack Wills has responded that all its models were over the age of 18. Besides they say, that their products are for university students and not for school children. Anybody who wants a catalogue needs to tick and confirm if they are 18 years or older.

ASA is sure that the label is influencing and inspiring school children towards a dangerous lifestyle too early. Also, considering the loyal following of celebrities like Prince Harry and Hugh Grant is aspirational enough.

Jack Wills was started in 1999 but two University College London graduates -Peter Williams and Robert Shaw. Their clothes are quite expensive. They aim to target privileged students and their shops are only in university towns and wealthy areas of London.

I understand that sex does sell to quite an extent and most advertisers seem to use this strategy. It is used as an appeal obviously to touch the senses and catalogues are an important part of a clothing business. I guess Jack Wills already has an impressive client and customer base and censuring won't damage their profits.

It is ok if ASA is taking these measures after a good 10 years - they are doing their bit. But teenagers and kids will always have access to things anyway in one way or the other. It is not easy to hide anything from nobody in these times.

2 guys sacked after creating web sensation

Jenni Palmer - the woman at the centre of viral email exchange between 2 idiots.
Jenni cheek to cheek with another girl whose tongue is poking out
Jenni in her underpants & is about to be spanked by another blonde
Harry who made the mistake of coping the email of Jenni, which allowed her to read this conservation between Harry & Sebastian.
Sebastian Marsh who was stupid enough to forward the mail to his pals for the sake of fun.

Sebastian Marsh & Harry Fildes have been sacked from their firms. These 2 guys were talking about Harry’s ex-girlfriend & that has been seen by millions of people by now.

Marsh was quite excited after meeting Jenni Palmer in a pub & he wanted her email address. However, Fildes did call his ex hot but said he didn’t like her as such, cause she’s into many guys & not just that but she has messed a number of guys around, but she’s definitely hot stuff for fun. But he made one huge mistake. He mistakenly copied her into an email and Marsh passed on the gaffe to pals.

What these guys were talking about was nothing out of this world but Harry was stupid enough to make this blunder & Marsh to pass it on & now both of them are paying the price, besides poor Jenni who has just disappeared from the scene. She is a primary school teacher but she hasn’t been seen ever since private messages about her became the talk of the internet. Moreover, her social networking pages too have been taken down.

One of her friends informed the media that she’s totally devastated by this publicity.

‘Jenni is in bits,’ the friend added. ‘The attention has got unbearable – she’s never had to deal with anything like this before. Despite the way she’s been portrayed, she is not a bad person.’

Anyway, Jennie Palmer’s plight became worse when a picture of her showing her underpants and being spanked by another blonde was posted on the internet. A second image shows her cheek to cheek with a girl whose tongue is poking out lasciviously. And a third has her wearing a backless top and staring provocatively at the camera.

You know all over the world we have certain suffocating norms. Clearly this is not expected of a teacher & that’s the reason why she’s off the screen. Explicit shots only take seconds to get famous on the net. It doesn’t matter whether it’s celebrity or just an ordinary person who happens to be hot. Even if the person is not hot, everyone loves watching naked or provocative pics. I guess it’s not about laying the blame but when a person takes such provocative photos, he/she ought to be a little careful.

Marsh, 25, had emailed Harry Fildes who is 24 to say he thought Jenni Palmer was ‘hot’ but was worried about trying his luck with her because he had heard she ‘came with a bit of a health warning’.

Harry Fildes’s reply was forthright: ‘I don’t dislike many people but she is one. She massively messed me around, she also messed a few of my mates from uni around, so I should have known better! Feel free to pursue yes, she is HOT!’ Marsh responded: ‘Oh she sounds brilliant ... just the sort of thing I am looking for in the summer months. My defences are up and I am up for the challenge ... Have you got an email address!? I won’t tell her you gave it to me!!’ Harry Fildes replied: ‘Feel free by all means just don’t say I gave you her email! Good luck – you’ll need it!’

He then made the mistake of accidentally copying Jenni Palmer into the email, allowing her to read the entire exchange. And people too had a fun time reading this conversation. I really don’t see the excitement about others getting excited & passing on the message to as many people as possible in no time. Actually Sebastian thought his friend’s mistake was so funny that he didn’t mind forwarding it to others. What an idiot!

Within hours it had been read by thousands and, within days, by millions more worldwide. What started as fun has turned into a nightmare for 3 people. The media wants to know the story of Jenni but she’s certainly lying low. It hasn’t been mentioned who posted those provocative pics of Jenni on the net, however.

I think both Marsh & Fildes are jerks having no brain cells whatsoever in their thick heads. I’m not one to say that they deserve it but you mature a little in your 20s. Even if one made the mistake, there was no need to take it to the next level. This has turned out to be a very expensive joke for 3 parties. I also wonder whether Harry did it deliberately. Of course what Sebastian did is pretty obvious. He did find it funny, so he went on sharing with his pals & his pals find it so very funny that the whole world knows it now. We don’t know whether Jenni is a bitch or not & even if she is, does she deserve this kind of publicity? As it’s obvious by now people all over the world take such explicit pics of themselves. It’s another thing it doesn’t remain private for too long.
